[geeks] Aluminum 30" Apple Display

[Matthew Braun]

Damn, a pimpin' Sun Blade 2500 only goes for $29,715.00 (can't get the 
full printout of the loadout  without registering). That's nowhere near 
close to $100k. At first I was disappointed, then I realized this is a 
Good Thing. Now if Vertu (http://www.vertu.com/) made desktops, theirs 
would most likely approach the upper bound.

And the XRaid isn't fair;  I could just order a McLaren  to carry my PC 
home to push the price over 1 mi!
